every- parent assist them catch waves and one’s safe. Come and see the future talent of surfing in Fiji. As a new Olympic sport, we are looking for new talent everywhere so it could be your son or daughter,” Portingale said.He said there would also be a free fam-

Inia Nakalevu will be doing introductory surfing lessons and Wailoaloa Boardriders will be putting on a sausage sizzle,” he said “So there are heaps to do for everyone on the beach at Natadola. Bring the family and enjoy this amazing family day.
